Walking on walking on broken glass (2x)

1. You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew

but I don’t care for sugar honey if I can’t have you.

Since you’ve abandoned me my whole life has crushed.

Won’t you pick the pieces up

’cause it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass.

Refrain 1

Walking on walking on broken glass (2x) [erstes Mal: Oooh!]

2. The sun’s still shining in the big blue sky

but it don’t mean nothing to me.

Oh, let the rain come down, let the wind blow through me!

I’m living in an empty room with all the windows smashed

and I’ve got so little left to lose

that it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass.

Refrain 1

Bridge

And if you’re trying to cut me down you know that I might bleed

’cause if you’re trying to cut me down I know that you’ll succeed.

And if you want to hurt me there’s nothing left to fear

’cause if you want to hurt me you’re doing really well my dear.

Zwischenteil: (2x)

3. Now everyone of us was made to suffer,

everyone of us was made to weep

but we’ve been hurting one another

And now the pain has cut too deep

So take me from the wreckage,

save me from the blast!

Lift me up and take me back!

Don’t let me keep on walking - Don’t let me keep on walking

I can’t keep on walking on - keep on walking on

I can’t keep on walking on - Don’t let me Don’t let me

broken glass!
